Wonderful creative resource!
I got this book from the library and am now going to buy it. I am a beginner/intermediate sewist who likes hip, cool fashionable clothes, and this book gave me so many ideas on new techniques I can incorporate in my basic designs. With that said, I only gave it 4 stars because the project pictures show pretty traditional and outdated clothing ideas. If you can get past the old-fashioned (no offense to those who like that stuff, but I like more current and classy vintage looks--not quilting and 80's-ish dresses with lace), you will have a treasure-trove of amazing techniques like applique (seems like a million different ways!), ruching, smocking, cording, lacemaking, etc.
The instructions for each technique are clearly presented in a step-by-step manner, with pictures for each step. The layout is not crowded, but spacious so it's easy to read. Each technique is covered in 2 to 4 pages with a list of supplies and what to set your machine to on the first page.
Very Simple to Use Book
This book has very easy and simple sewing techniques with very colorful illustrations on each page. The instructions are very easy to follow. I have the hard back edition, and I've had it for several years now.
A SEWER'S ANSWER
You will buy several books on the craft of sewing, whether for pleasure or profit. I found this one to be of great value, and I find I am referring to its content often. It is always at hand.
